Thank you to everyone who played a part in Declan's life, we know that it has been all the richer for it. A special thanks to all those who took the time to pay tribute to Declan in some way, be it friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances. The entries on the Echo comment pages, have been difficult, and the tributes paid to Declan are hugely moving. Hugely! 

In time, hopefully all  of you will feel a little better. May your hearts mend and your memories stay strong. For now, lets cherish the good memories.

And for my sake
And in my name,
Live on and do
All the things the same.
